Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or sources:
“With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.”
—Bible: Hebrew Job, 12:12.
“On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
